However, for Thunderbird ONLY ESR and beta match up. (Thunderbird does not release 69, 70, 71, etc) Future ESR releases of Thunderbird upcoming are 78, 88, 98, etc. | |||

** Releases typically happen 1 | ** ESR Releases typically happen 1 week after published Firefox dates. But it could be more, because we ship when '''code is ready and tested'''. In other words dates cannot be accurately predicted. If you see a date you should take it with a grain of salt. If you do not see the "newest" version listed at the [https://www.thunderbird.net/ Thunderbird home page], do not worry, the new version is just not yet ready. New features and fixes happen as volunteers have time to work on them and fix them - there are no schedules for fixes and features which can be communicated to users. If you want new features sooner, then please help us [https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/get-involved/ test and code], or use the beta mentioned above. | ||
